In NSW the subdivision certification process can be summarized as follows:
- Development Application (DA) / CDC: Obtain DA approval from council or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) from an accredited certifier;
- Subdivision Works Certificate (SWC): If physical works are required, a SWC must be obtained under Section 6.13 of the EP&A Act;
- Compliance Certificates: Inspections to ensure works are completed to standard and conform to the DA conditions;
- Final Subdivision Survey: A registered surveyor prepares the final survey and Deposited Plan (DP);
- Subdivision Certificate Application: Apply via the NSW Planning Portal to the council or a private certifier to confirm all requirements are met; and
- Registration with NSW LRS: Once the SC is issued, the final plans are registered with NSW Land Registry Services.
There are many types of subdivisions:
- Torrens Title;
- Strata Title; and
- Community Title.
Civil Certification can assist you through the above process for all types of Subdivisions just as they have for many other clients throughout NSW.
